Recipe overview
Crust and crumb topping: The crust and crumb topping are made from the same mixture. It’s similar to a brown sugar oatmeal cookie dough. It’s buttery, sweet, and it comes together in minutes. Press a little more than two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish and reserve the rest for crumbling over the top.
Fudge filling: A mixture of sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat, whisking frequently, until smooth and combined.
Bake: Once assembled bake for 18-20 minutes.
